There are multiple threads on here with both Lancer AND Evo owners trunk lip spoilers. Remember, our '02-'03 Lancer trunks are the same as the Evo's. So what fits their trunk, will fit yours...

I know it's blurry but that's just a little teaser of what's to come. I shall have better pictures before the end of the year.

Def. not worth $300!!

My opinion:
Not worth it. I would just invest that towards something better. Unless someone can make you one. I know you will not be happy with ever with it.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Im happy with my $300 spoiler, it's my choice to buy a nice sleek CF lip spoiler over a bulky wanna-be evo spoiler.

serves 2 totally different functions. The VG is there to reduce the drag caused by air "hugging" the car on the way down the rear windshield. The wing is to utilize air to create downforce. Both items are independent of each other, it's not an all or nothing scenario.

um wrong. u are partially right. while your description of each function is spot on. u are not correct on them being completely independent of each other. the Vg works ok by itself but it also helps the effectiveness of the wing by allowing more air to catch the wing by stopping it from "hugging" the car and going under the wing.
